The poll also found voters in Alaska have a 58 percent unfavorable opinion of the former Alaska governor and 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee. Palin had a 39 percent favorable rating.

Alaskans also were split on whether Palin can be considered an Alaskan, with 46 percent saying she is not, versus 47 percent who say she is Alaskan, PPP found.

Earlier this month Palin flirted with the idea that she would run for Senate, prompting her likely opponent, Democratic Sen. Mark Begich to question whether Palin is a resident of Alaska and saying she has “lost touch.”

The poll was conducted by phone July 25 to 28 among 890 Alaska voters with a +/-3.3 percent margin of error. The Republican primary results were conducted by phone July 25 to 28 among 507 voters polled with a +/-4.3 percent margin of error.
